Quote from: zenrat on September 10, 2023, 04:21:22 AMI still have the school report my form tutor wrote when I left school.
"Fred is eccentric..."
My proudest moment.


My favourite was at the end of my second year and written in vivid green ink by Mr Callaghan our GMD (technical drawing) master who wrote " Edwards has neither interest nor aptitude for the subject and thus spends most of the lesson in attempts to keep the rest of the class amused. He's very good at this." I dropped GMD at the end of that year   :angel:

We had report cards here and I still remember one of the most contradictory remarks I've ever had on one card from 2 different so called teachers.
One said I work great by myself and needs to learn to work better in a team .
The other..complete opposite..on the same card..even mum and dad were scratching their heads.
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Different subjects, different interest levels, different aptitude; all can play their part. ;)

Painting is mostly complete.  More colours on it now including some fake wood effect on the struts.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thanks mate.
It just needs some clear on the bare metal areas (I satin cleared over them  :banghead: } and then I can permanently attach the engine and begin the Joy Of Rigging.   :mellow:

I can't not rig it.  But it'll be more a suggestion of full rigging than an accurate full on t's crossed i's dotted effort.  Enough wires to look like there are enough wires.

Do you have a scale budgerigar to put in there before you rig it?

My Dad swore they put one inside the rigging of the Audaxes when he was on 4 (AC) Sqdn, before a re-rig, and if the bird got out afterwards they knew they'd missed a wire............
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

When I build my Gotha bomber it's kinda strange but I'm looking to the rigging side of it ..it's just not complete without it and it looks like something is missing..yeah the rigging  :banghead:  :wacko:
